As I get more senior, I get less tolerant of exploitive cultures. You hire me by giving great benefits[1], an office next to transit in a city I want to live in, good salary, a nice office for me alone, and hands-off management who will support me, along with a commitment to free software. Generally those axes are how I rank companies, the scaling parameters vary depending on my life situation at the time. I also want to note that lots of Bay Area companies seem to have a thing for recruiting from top 10 schools. Get over themselves, go out to the Mid-/Mountain West and scour those students. There are good students outside of the top 10. [1] A compelling benefit would be fully funding a PhD in the US for a fully furloughed duration. No one ever has that as a benefit afaik. I'd like to see it offered. Note, Foosball is not a benefit. Nor is having a video game station. Nor is gourmet food, happy hours, or senior devs with 3 years of experience (that's an anti benefit).
